  1. Did you try layers? Supposedly it's faster. Plus you get a lot of shortcuts at the final stages. I can post a link to the solution if you want.

  2. I've decided I'm taking a trip to the US in the summer. The WTC site, WFFC, stuff like that. A ROAD trip. For a reason, too... Not the least of which is because it actually lets me see the US, as opposed to being cooped up in a pressurized metal tube. Best way to fight if you want to win was always below the belt. I figure hit em where it hurts - the revenue. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  3. Damn I love that puzzle. I figured out how to solve one side of it when I was really small in smth like 7 seconds. But that's really easy. I lost my cube too. Actually, it broke
  4. You know what would be cool? A device to prevent farts. If I ever buy a jumpship, I'm gonna attach a funnel to a window.

  5. Actually, I was at base Borden. I was ground crew. The visibility at altitude was 500 feet. They didn't jump Me and Peter the rigger got to be the elves and Kyla (you probably haven't seen her yet, she's new) was Santa. Kyla is female, very very female. And I'm jewish. All in all, we did a good job I'm taking it to Peter. He's known as Crazy Peter. I believe he rigs most of the student rigs there. Tall, thin, jumps every kind of chute imaginable, does every stunt on it you can think of. Examples: stalling a 292 Manta at 500 feet, or 360ing same Manta into landing. He went to bridge day last year. Gives me the creeps.

  7. Here's an experience my Dad had when he flew into the US (he works for a company there). He was 41 at the time, a little overweight but definitely not obese, balding. He wore a suit, had a briefcase and a laptop. When going home, he was stopped in the airport. They told him to turn on his laptop, so he did. After seeing it boot up, they put him in detention for 3 hours for no reason and confiscated the laptop and briefcase. They searched him several times. When he got the laptop back it was opened, some of the screws were missing, and it did not boot up. His stuff in the briefcase was messed up and some of it was given back in a bag, they didn't even bother shoving it back into the case. Thankfully, the harddisk on the laptop was not destroyed, so his work did not suffer. In fact, if I remember correctly, they forgot to plug the main power cord back. This happened more than a year before 9-11. I don't think the problem is with controlling civilians. It's more along the lines of stupid people in powerful positions. They're not trying to control anyone, they're just being themselves - stupid. Unless the quality of their job education rises this will not go away. The most secure airline is the Israeli El Al. I've lived in Israel and have flown it several times. Nothing like this happens with El Al, only with the US. Seems to me that your country is plagued first and foremost by stupidity and a remarkable lack of common sense. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    When is it rape?

    Unfortunately, sometimes you can't tell. And sometimes she becomes crazy after you've married her. Rhino is a case in point I believe...

    When is it rape?

    You know, what about men? All these laws protect women, what about men? Why can't we be protected from crazy bitches that marry us, wait for us to accumulate some money, then divorce us and take everything: money, kids, even our rigs (and they don't even skydive)?

    When is it rape?

    Uh-huh. Plus, she doesn't have to be forceful in her "no". We've changed No to Meh. If she starts kicking and screaming at you, you might decide to get the fuck away from her because she is seriously unstable, but you should stop. I agree with that.

    When is it rape?

    If I was a girl, I'd start going around my uni sleeping with everyone. Then in the middle I'd say something like "Damn, I've got a lot of homework to do". And then summarily sue everyone. I wonder if the same rule applies to a guy, too. This is just further evidence that the American legal system needs a large collective smack. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  15. I thought about that too. But how much use are nukes really going to be to NK if the US invades? If they use them, the West will wipe them off the face of the earth. Another possibility is that NK is trying to bolster the morale of the people living there. Motivate them not to fall apart at the first sight of the US. In Russia they used to love parading those big missile launchers up and down the red square. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  16. I think he said something like "how do we know we should hate it if we can't even see it?" I admit that I had a morbid curiosity about how those fuckers work. See the face of the Devil kind of thing. No, I'm not a pedophile. I have never been in posession of anything that even remotely looks like that. It makes me literally sick. But honestly, something this evil, you've never wondered who those people are? How they do it? Is it not important to find out? Of course, the proper authorities should find out. But if you overstep your bounds in the law, you are not a pedophile, you just overstepped your bounds. My point is that his story is believable. Plus, he was very cooperative with the police. Should he be punished? Yes. I may be curious about crack, but if I'm caught with it I should be fined or whatever. But is he a pedophile? So far, the doubt is more than reasonable. A slap on the wrist? Yeah. A hanging? No. And please. I believe that people are innocent until proven guilty in that country. Pedophilia is one of the worst things you can accuse a person of. Imagine if someone called you a pedophile because you have some boobie pictures of a girl with pigtails. You'd probably beat the stupid out of them, no? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  17. Bill, here's my perspective on NK: Long ago they build nukes. The UN comes and says "don't build nukes, we'll build you harmless power plants and give you oil." NK says "sure". The power plants were built very very slowly, I think they're still not finished. But the oil was delivered. Then, one fine day, NK announces that it has been developing nukes for a while. Bush recoils, shuts down all treaties. NK goes "hrm, this is not good", so it starts to raise hell, as we have all seen on CNN lately. Sounds like blackmail to me. "Give us money or we will build nukes". -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  19. It all depends on how much patience and time you have. Assuming he's in uni/college CS and is using Linux for full-blown networking, he's gonna need to figure a lot of things out quickly. Some people can/want, some can't/don't want to. Easiest would be a book. Hence my recommendation. Besides, can you imagine a newbie that screwed up his filesystem and now has to "poke around" to figure out whats wrong, with his filesystem no less, without having even smelt Linux before? Ouch. Better yet, imagine what happens if one of his mounted filesystems spontaneously combusts because of his tinkering (remote, but possible).

  20. Stay away from that reserve man. It's a 5-cell. I wouldn't use that thing if they paid me to do it. It's your life. 19 year old 5-cell reserves are not the way to prolong it. Of course, if it passes rigger inspection it's ok. I guess it's just your comfort level. All I know is that it's way beyond mine. Just my .02 cents, I'm not the most experienced jumper on the block here.

  21. What Chivo said Seriously, if you only ever used windows, Linux will come as a bit of a shock at first. My honest recomendation is to get a book.

    How do I know?

    Remember, having a pet means being responsible for them. The greatest responsibility, and the hardest to accept, is when to let them go. Make her final days comfortable. Enjoy her company. But when she begins to suffer without hope of recovery, it's time to let her go. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows how difficult this is, but it is a part of the responsibility you accepted when you took her in. It is your last, and perhaps greatest, duty to that animal. We are Gods to our pets. This is the moment when we find out what kind of a God we make of ourselves. Remember her, but when she's gone there are a lot of little kittens in your nearest animal shelter that are very hopeful that you will take them in. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  25. Linux is definitely not like windows. Why are you installing it? Do you need it for work/study? Are you willing to spend time to learn it?
